From: Colin Paul Adams Date: 07 Jun 2003 09:55:12 +0100 Message-ID: User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 599 Lines: 9 I am somewhat confused about how much swap space you can have with a 2.4 series kernel. If I read the mkswap man page, I get the impression that I could have up to 8x2GB of swap space for a total of 16 GB, but reading the RedHat reference guide, it says 2GB maximum. I presume 2.5 kernels have much higher limits? -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
